At least Maglor understands that. A man is never meant to live forever, and while the Doctor wants to live for as long as he can, always ... Forever isn't the goal. He's already lived for too long, even if his human friends never seem to agree with that.

But they've never been there for all of it, either.

"I'll gladly tell you stories. But if I'm not flying while telling them, I prefer them over a cup of tea. What say you?"

It was always nice talking to Maglor, so he'd gladly do so. But over a cuppa is always ideal.
